[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're going to go domestic, I'd lean towards an SUV or truck, not a small crossover or a car.

A) Ford/GM/Stellantis are getting out of cars for the most part -- look at the "cars" tab on Ford.com and you'll find exactly one model left, the Mustang.

B) Ford/GM's true strength is in building awesome trucks and SUVs. This is what they do best.

C) Of these 3 automakers, I would favor Ford and GM over Stellantis from a build quality standpoint.

D) Ford in particular is coming out with some compelling electric vehicles, and electrics are great for commuting as long as you can charge at home.

I'm not trying to change your mind at all, but all automakers are global and ironically the "domestic" companies are the ones outsourcing most of their jobs out of the U.S. and many "foreign" companies have now actually set up plants where they hire American workers to build most of their vehicles right here. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is made in Kentucky, whereas the Chevy Blazer and Jeep Compass are made in Mexico. I don't care if people love a certain brand, but it's sort of a bizarre outdated understanding of how things really are if you label Ford, GM, Stellantis as "domestic" and others as Japanese, German, etc. They are all just global automakers and they all make vehicles all over the world.[/quote]

Even if the profit thing were true, which is debatable, you think you, here get anything, out of Ford’s profits?

A Toyota made in America all profits sent to Japan vs Ford profits stay here [/quote][/quote]
